Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Every operation runs entirely inside your browser using your device's own processor. Your files never leave your computer, so the tool works even with the page disconnected from the internet after loading.
Can I crop to a specific ratio like 1:1 or 16:9?
Yes, choose a preset ratio and the selection box locks to it, which is perfect for avatars, thumbnails and social posts.
Will cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping simply removes pixels outside the selection; the remaining area keeps its original resolution and quality.
Can I crop a circle for an avatar?
For round avatars use our dedicated circle crop tool. The standard cropper produces rectangular results.
